A grand claim indeed, as no one can yet explain how an inexpensive 3D printer can manage multi-color printing. Many current 3D printers are multi-color in the sense of "switching" from one color to another, but none can produce arbitrary RGB color mixes; you'd have to purchase a ProJet x60 commercial 3D printer to do that.
However, TechCrunch reports on an exclusive view of the device provided to them by botObjects. Their videographer, Steve Long, was able to check out the ProDesk3D up close and ask questions about the machine.
We, like many others, are terribly interested to find out exactly how this multicolor capability actually works. Here's what TechCrunch said:
“It has an aluminum body and two print heads, hidden by a plate, that can print 25 micro layer thickness. When the printer changes color it moves the head to the side and purges the old color and brings in a new one. “Print head will in a single layer print out all parts of a certain color on that particular layer – green, for example- then purge, and go on to the next color and fill in the rest, etc,” he said.”
